VARIOUS UPDATES

It's been a while since I've put anything here, so today I've got a few stuff to update. I can't believe it's been such a long wait for the Valencia GP and now it's race week. The race is this weekend. Woohoo!. The Olympics has been exciting and filling up my time. It's a shame that this weekend is the Olympics closing and the Valencia GP, so I'll probably have to miss out on some of the Olympics to watch the race.

Valencia is exciting as it is a totally new race and a street race at that. No teams have experience of data there so they have had to use whatever information they can get their hands on such as simulators and descriptions from the previous races held there such as the GT Championships. Button has had to use simulators to learn the track. So has Lewis and Heikki. Here's what Mercedes race boss Norbert Haug had to say about their prep for the race.

Things don't look too good for Nelson Piquet at the moment. yes he's had a few good result lately but consistent he's not. His position next year looks shaky with Renault pushing his confirmation further back.

And for those writing off Kimi, better think again. He sounds like he's not quiting but the proof is in the pudding. We'll see.

As for Lewis and McLaren, they had better wake up and smell the roses. There's no time to waste and be complacent now. As we have seen countless times, F1 is unpredictable, so McLaren better keep their form for the rest of the season. Consistency is better than winning sometimes and they had better keep an eagle eye out for Ferrari.
